A quiet Tuesday

It's been quiet around here today.
I've been thinking about quilting and
how Mat. Anna is doing it.
*
Some day I may learn to sew or even quilt;
it is sounding more fun all the time!
Meanwhile,
I am continuing my learning to knitting.
I am working on a blanket
made up of squares
while thinking about other projects I hope to do
or finish
(like the 15 scarves by Christmas
for nieces and nephews).
*
I just discovered another yarn website that
I can get some yarn at even better prices
for some things.
But first I had to remind myself of what
I have in my stash.
So I put it all on the couch! :) :)


I realized I had more of somethings
than I thought!

I reminded myself that I need to get going on those
orange scarves for my three Ottawa munchkins
and was so happy to find three skeins of baby wool yarn:

 

It will be so fun to use these for
family and friends!
*
I also figured out that I have enough yarn
for my yarn quilt
and for some of my other projects.
*
Meanwhile,
I am loving Google Drive's spreadsheets.
Yes, I love them.
I now have a list of my knitting purchases to see
the cost of things,
another one for my knitting projects and due dates
and it is proving helpful for my BC trip plans
as well.
*
So that is what is going on in my neck of the woods.
What's going on in yours?

Around the house on a Thursday in Great Lent...

I do love flowers... 

The lemon cranberry bread being toasted...

Our kitchen sink has developed a
never-ending stream of water.
Contacted the landlord ~ hoping for a fix ASAP.

 

Cleo loves the sunshine as much as I do!

It was really wonderful to be at a presanctified liturgy
again yesterday...

Thanks everyone for your knitting suggestions!
I am looking forward to trying them!

Quiet Day

I was thankful that I had a quiet no-emergency-reference-question/s day. I am still dizzy (esp. with the residual congestion from my head cold) and this is tiring.

Question of the hour: I am looking for some simple healthy energy-giving snacks to have at work. Would love suggestions. So far my only answer is to have a stash of nuts at work, and maybe dried fruit. Any thoughts?

On the pass the blog post on front (I am a librarian!), Fr. Stephen's post was lovely to read. He has various posts recently about anger from various perspectives. Take a look and while your at it, you can see the other posts he wrote recently. (That is if you are not already one of his regular readers!)
